“This is something I often make for my brother to fuel him before he goes on long rides, runs, swims or before a hockey match, as the bars are packed with energy-boosting goodies. These granola bars are easy to put together and are perfect for when you’re on the go or just need something to curb your appetite in between meals.” – Kate Bradley
